Questions travellers ask
Good to know
Is January a good time to visit Rajasthan?
The coldest and clearest month. Days are warm enough for sightseeing and nights cold enough for a fire, especially in the desert, where Jaisalmer can fall to 5 °C. The Jaipur Literature Festival draws crowds in the last week, and wedding season keeps the palace hotels busy, so book early. Ranthambore mornings in an open jeep are sharp; bring warm layers.
What is the weather like in Rajasthan in January?
Jaipur 8–23 °C, dry, clear. Conditions differ by altitude and coast, so check the forecast for each stop a week before you travel.
Where should we go in Rajasthan in January?
We suggest Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Ranthambore. Pack a warm jacket and gloves for dawn safaris and desert nights.
